[Coach1310]

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family Windy. Makes you step back and realize the Sox/Twins really isn't that important.

[paceman]

Prayers are on the way......

[Maximum12]

Can't say anything that hasn't already been said, but add another onto the pile.

[jigging-matt]

Prayers are with you and your family. Hope all goes well.

[Commanche Jim]

Windy,

I am so sorry and I will be saying prayers for you and your family. I feel for you......we've had some recent scares lately that turned out to be okay. I said a lot of prayers.

Are they at Children's Memorial?

I'm sure you have a lot of support around you, but if there's anything you need, let me know. We'd be happy to drop off a dinner or two if you're drained and not feeling like cooking.

Sox seem so unimportant at times like these.

[Windy City]

Thanks to all who have replied. No changes so far. Will know more tomorrow. And Commanche, they are at Rush. It was between Childrens and Rush, pretty much a coin toss. The surgeons work out of both and consult for both hospitals.

She'll be in my prayers WC and if you have the time, let us know how she's doing.

[Jim Uran]

Prayers are with you Windy!!!!!

I had to leave the office to compose myself. This brought back a flood of memories. My brother and his wife had a little boy whose plumbing to the heart was backwards. They airlifted him to Fargo from Whapeton and then jetted him to Mpls. He is now in kindergarden and doing well enough that he doesn't have to go to most of the scheduled appts. They can do miracles with these things. hopefully, in God's will, you will have a healthy grandchild. Bless you in this jouney.

[buzzsaw]

Oh Lord! My heartfelt wishes go out to all of you, I pray for everything to work out in a good way.

[dan z]

[Windy City]

Thanks again guys. Our family has been also donating blood to store up for the surgery. It was postponed today, could be next week. I will keep you posted.

Windy

[Gary Crichton]

Good luck big guy.

Windy, sorry to hear about your grand-daughter, it always makes it tough when it hits one of the kids. I will be cheering for her extra hard. I hope all goes well.

[Scott M]

Prayers are with you Windy. Sorry to hear that.

Here's the Update on my grand daughter. Her first open heart surgery is now scheduled for Tuesday morning. She has both of her blood supplies that usually go to both parts of the heart only going into one ventricle. She will basically have a one chamber heart instead of the usual two. We will know more after the surgery as to her next step.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement you all have sent, they do mean a lot to me!

Windy

[fishyguy]

Hey Windy,

Prayers sent each day but I will send a little extra special prayer on Tuesday for the surgeons to be on their game for that special little girl.

Fishy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Thanks Fish!

Windy

[DonBo]

Add my thoughts and prayers to the growing list. I'm even finding myself rooting for the sox. Didn't think I ever could.

[Wadinator]

My prayers are with you and your grand-daughter, Windy.

That sounds so insignificant, but there's not much else a person can say. I always wish there was more everyone could do for folks in situations like this, but prayer and encouragement are about as good as it gets. So stay strong for your family and know that everyone here on the board is thinking about you and yours.

[Jim Almquist]

Windy I will make sure to say a special prayer for your granddaughter tonight and again in the morning. Take care and we will be waiting for your report and hope that your life can get back to normal soon.

[Mudcutter]

tues morn--- I too found myself rooting for the W.Sox---

now the real rooting comes for Windy's G-daughter.

Prayer sent.

[Windy City]

Well guys, my White Sox may not have won but my grand daughter sure did! First surgery was yesterday, about 3 hours, and they were able to do everything they wanted to do for the first one. We got to see her last night and she looked as good as a baby could for just getting out of such a serious surgery. They say that she will be in recovery mode for about 10 days and may be able to come home in about 2 weeks. Her second surgery will be at 4 months. We have guarded optimism right now. Thanks again for all the thoughts, prayers and good mojo! Abbi sure appreciated it!
